BONDS OR NO BONDS?

EDITOR HERALD:-I notice in last
weeks Herald a few lines from DIR.
Melcher, asking: els cur county being
bonded without a vote Of the tax-pay-
er, &C."
While / am unable to answer the
question asked by the Dr., it appears to
me that he has not given the subject
such thorough reflection as it deserves,
and merely opposes it on the general
ground that bonds are debts.
The act Of the legislature gives the
commissioners power to bond for out
standing warrants, provided per Ct.
bond can be disposed OF at par (same
rate Of interest which the county is OBJ
liged to pay on its outstanding war.
rants.)
Should our county commissioners
conclude to go on and bond the county,
they would not be creating new debt,
but merely merging an existing float
ing Indebtedness in a more convenient
shape, to put off the payday, and to
raise it's warrants to cash basis.
There are at least two very good rea-
sons to show why the commissioners
should bond - not for the benefit OF
the capitalist, but in the interest of the
taxpayer.
First comes the matter of discount
At present the county pays for every
IS cents worth of goods or services re.
ceived $1.00, with per cent interest
as IS per cent, is the market value OF
our county warrants. This looks to me
like a very poor way Of doing business
when county can obtain ready mo.
ney at I per cent, and save the discount
on it's warrants.
The possible inference that the loss
by DISCOUNT falls on the holders Of the
warrants is only true in limited de.
gree, where certain fees are stipulated
by law, and where the county's scrip is
forced on the public dollar for dollar
In all other dealings the discount is
taken into consideration, and the coun.
ty must pay higher price in proper
ton.
The second reason why the count,
should dispose of its floating debt by
bonding, exists in the fact that at pres
ent one-half Of our lands escape taxa.
tion, because they are not proved up on
In ten years all these properties viii
double the assessed valuation of to-da,
and make it easier to pay $4,000 the1
than it is to continue drudging alone
under the growing load OF warrants.
One thing is certain, there is no ust
expecting the floating county debt tt
be reduced by the annual tax levy of {
mills. The only way this can be done
is by bonding and creating a specia
fund to pay the interest on the bonds
or by voting a special increase of the
county tax of say one per cent for {
few years, until the debt is wiped out
